Peaky Blinders: episode by episodePeaky BlindersPeaky Blinders recap: series two, episode two – it's not easy being Tommy ShelbyWe’re here for the glorious, gaudy trip, and this week there were just enough hints to suggest it’s only going to get wilder from here on in
Let no one say that it’s easy being Tommy Shelby. This week alone our man in the long black coat was shouted at, threatened, prodded with a wolf-handled silver cane, forced to treat his (considerable) injuries with horse oil and a long trip on a slow barge, dealt with guns being waved in his face twice, listened to a convoluted story about a cabinet, put up with numerous insults about his origins, tried a bit of shock therapy on his older brother, attempted a little light intimidation, faced down his demons in the form of a surprise letter from upstate New York and still found time to spend the morning after the raucous night before trying to balance the books.

TelevisionObituaryBarbara Murray obituaryElegant stage and screen actor who starred in the TV series The Power Game and as Ammonia in the film of Up PompeiiThe actor Barbara Murray, who has died aged 84, was a striking presence on screen, bringing sophistication and elegance to her roles in film comedies and dramas. She made her biggest impact on television, in the British forerunner to Dallas, The Power Game (1965-69), in which she played Pamela, the bejewelled and fur-clad wife of the ruthless business executive John Wilder (played by Patrick Wymark).

TheatreReviewCottesloe, London1,600 Jews were massacred in the small Polish town of Jedwabne in the summer of 1941. Such is the starting-point for this play by Tadeusz Slobodzianek which follows recent research by attributing the slaughter not to the occupying Nazis but to the local community. And, if the second half of this three-hour play were as riveting as the first, it would be masterly rather than very good.
The format is deceptively simple.
Observer Food Monthly's 20 best recipesPastaComforting and buttery, this a friend for the fragile diner
The 20 best easy pasta recipes – in full I love butter. I come from a family of butter fiends. My mother eats it in chunks from the pat with a spoon, and my father spreads it as thick as cheese on his toast.
